Allow multiple "mobile" numbers
Or remove the "phone type" requirement all together, make it optional. When I go to enter in a second "mobile" number for example, it's a couple, and I want to have both of their cell phone numbers in the system, it only allows one per phone type. So I have to enter one as "mobile" and one as "home" even though both phone numbers are "mobile"
10 votesThere is already the ability to add multiple phone types within UMS. Users can go to Setup > Setup Phone Types and add the additional phone type. If you have questions or need help, please reach out to our Tech Support staff for assistance.

Audit Trail
To provide a more in-depth audit report. For example, we would like to know who changed or deleted the phone number or email address, or who edited to usage rate. Currently the audit report only shows who viewed the account and not any changes that a specific user made.
10 votesThis Audit Trail work has been completed and is now in UMS version 6.9.

Click Through Accounts By Sequence Order
It would be super beneficial to be able to sift through the accounts by sequence order. For example, if I am in account #618 I would like to check a box that says sequence order so when I press the next or previous arrow it takes me to the one in reading sequence order.
1 voteThis is already an option by going to Setup > Customize Account Control Panel and slide the 'Sort by Route Read Sequence' over to the assigned side and save. Please reach out to our support staff if you need assistance.

Please lengthen time or eliminate the timing out on Service Orders, they time out too quickly!
Often while working on Service Orders, they time out too quickly and we have to start over after having entered lots of information that then disappears. It is very frustrating as we are a small operation stretched thin not a lot of time to waste re-doing our work. Is there any way to significantly lengthen the time we can be in a service order before it times out or can we eliminate them timing out altogether? Thanks!
18 votesThis has been completed and the time out setting is now set to 4 hours by default in Version 6.10.

Multiple Penalties & Interest Options
The functionality allows users to create multiple penalties and interest rates, however, when going to calculate it, the system always defaults to one. It would be easier to have the multiple option so that users can use specific rates with a variety of accounts.
6 votesBecause interest and penalty codes are specifically tied to the rate, multiple interest/penalty codes are currently permitted and functional within the software. Please reach out to technical support if you need help setting these up.

Mass Add Wizard
If a Property Manager manages multiple properties, currently, we are having to add the contact to each account with any corresponding notes, attachments, misc fees, etc. For example, if the Property Manager managed 90 accounts, owned by different owners, it would be helpful to have some sort of Wizard Mass add function with the ability to add the accounts we would like to update and have the option of adding any of the listed items at the same time. This would helpful workflow and processing time for staff. We had something similar from our old system and really helped with…

Filter Options For Miscellaneous Rates
Referring to Ticket 89901 (images available)
When filtering reports or any limit option by rate codes, Miscellaneous does not have the ability to choose the rates we have added to our system, instead it gives a generic "MISC or "MISCM". It would be helpful to pull reports with the ability to differentiate the different types of Misc rates rather than having to spend the time to filter the file each time we pull a report. It will be extremely helpful also when posting transactions.

Lock on Location
When a meter is locked, but the service is still active, we would like for that to be notated with a locking symbol (or something similar) on the location. Maybe a box near the rental box on the location details tab that would make the lock appear? Example of what we are looking for is attached!
1 voteDiscussed with the customer about adding an account status of 'Locked' with a 'Lock' Icon. She said that should accommodate her needs.

Include the "Use Minimum" and "Use Allowance" boxes during changeout process
During the meter/register change out process, have the "Use Allowance" and "Use Minimum" from the Utilization tab to avoid the double charge to the customer.
1 voteUpon research with the implementation manager, this really is a non-issue as long as the outgoing meter is marked as 'changed out' and not just 'removed' when doing the change out process. If the meter is just 'removed' and another meter installed, the account will charge two minimums after the 'removal' where as a 'changed out' meter will ignore the 'Use Minimum' and 'Use Allowance' checkboxes.

Customer address changes

Printed/Saved Service Orders - Transmitter Numbers Showing as Meter Numbers
Currently, there is a line on the service order that describes the meter info + transmitter number as well as an additional line that relists the transmitter number but shows it as meter number and the transmitter number. This duplicate information and confusing. We would love to see it go back to only one line item listing both the meter and transmitter OR it being listed in a more clear manner.
1 voteCUSI set up a custom service order form to suppress the transmitter information when printing. This work item is considered complete since there are no other votes on this request.

Customer screen - add a preview button
We need to have a preview tab/button. If during billing or a customer calls with a reading cause they had a leak and wanted to know what the bill is at the moment. It could give us the gallons used & also a preview of the dollar amount.

UMS Client Display Resolution Scaling
We would like to see a change implemented in the UMS client to prevent the need for manual PC changes for each user with a High DPI monitor.
There is a workaround for the UMS Client not rendering properly when the user’s scaling is set to a high number. We have a user with a 1440p monitor and scaling at 250%. Her screen before/after the change are attached. After following these directions, her screens look “normal” https://www.brankovucinec.com/fix-remote-desktop-dpi-scaling-issues/
We were also provided a manual work around of settings that could be changed on each PC: by right-clicking the icon for UMS.…
